One of Britain's top universities claims to stand for social justice and fighting inequality but actually paid black women almost half as much as white men, MailOnline can reveal.
The University of York paid black women 41 per cent less than white men in the last recorded year, meaning for every £1 a white man earned, a black woman only got 59p.
FEMAIL can also reveal that two thirds of Russell Group universities have paid black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) staff less than their white peers.
Jo Grady, the general secretary of the University and College Union, told MailOnline: 'It should shame every single Russell Group vice chancellor that black women are paid up to 41 per cent less than white men [at York].
'Universities are sites of mass inequality and there are huge pay gaps when it comes to race, gender and disability.
